Re: Lord of the Rings figures

Well, I caved in and got a set of series two figures on ebay. I think I got a pretty good deal. With shipping, it came to about $65. I got Mordor Orc Leuitenent, Flaming Sword Morgul Lord, Fiery ringwraith, Balrog battle gandalf, and Legolas.

Cant wait to get the Mordor Orc, and Flaming Sword Morgul Lord. Those guys are the main reason I bought the set.

I don't really want the Gandalf and Legolas. If anyone here wants 'em you can have 'em for $8 each, just LMK.

It IS sad. This is likely my favorite set of loose figures - they've done a great job. I was also really impressed with the card changes - the Epic Trilogy cards are beautiful. I finally broke down and bought Gothmog and Eye of Sauron on these cards so that I'd have as many of them on ET cards as possible.

I've noticed that the prices on ebay for many of the older figures, up until the line switched to "Epic trilogy" have plateaued or have fallen a bit in case anyone is still missing figures from that era.

Taking a hint from Reefer, i got the last set of 5 (I didn't order the rehash Eowyn or Galadriel) and got them this week: Mordor Orc Lt (who looks great), Balrog Battle Gandalf (got'em), Witchking with Fire sword (nifty!), Legolas (eh) and Burning Ringwraith (likey!) i'm glad to have finally got this line under my belt. I have countless great memories collecting these figures, mostly driving around Columbus, OH with my buddy collector, Dave, blaring the LOTR score and other tunes, hunting for these things. While i'm sad to see it go, i understand and am actually grateful the line is finished. The figures were top notch 99% of the time and you can tell the sculptors were fans of the films as they put in so many great little details in the armor, clothing and weaponry. So many great figures and memories! Thank you, Toybiz, for doing Tolkiens work and PJ's films justice.

on a side note, i so WOULD HAVE LOVED for the Orc Lt to have a soundchip that said, 'Catapults!" in taht high pitched squeak of his. But still, fantastic line!!

"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"

my local KB received more shipments of trilogy figures. i picked up an isengard orc and a lurtz today. and then last week, my local TRU got in at least 2 cases of epic trilogy wave 1, oddly enough and so i was able to get a gothmog on this particular card.
